Children and Adolescents

Child therapy is primarily conducted through play therapy, a developmentally appropriate approach that allows children to communicate and process their inner experiences through symbolic play. Within play, children can express emotional distress and psychological difficulties either directly or indirectly, in line with their developmental stage and their capacity to tolerate and make sense of challenging experiences. For example, a child experiencing difficulties in forming friendships may express feelings of rejection or not belonging through the characters and scenarios they create in play.

Adolescent therapy offers a reflective and supportive space during a particularly complex and often confusing stage of development. Psychotherapy provides teenagers with an opportunity to express, explore, and make sense of their emotional experiences and current challenges. Therapeutic work at this stage frequently involves themes related to identity formation, body image, peer and social relationships, evolving relationships with parents, and broader questions of meaning, direction, and self-understanding.
